Minecraft Windows 10 Edition Lost Worlds

Hello All,

Recently, I have had troubles with my Minecraft Windows 10 Edition freezing up every 20 or so minutes. Since this was a huge nuisance, I contacted Microsoft support and they told me to do some things, including uninstalling Minecraft W10E. I asked the person twice to make sure my worlds would not be erased, and they said that they would not. I come to find out that after uninstalling it and reinstalling it, my worlds, my skin, and my server saves were gone. Is there any way that I could retrieve those lost worlds? I am not concerned about the skin or the server saves, but I am the worlds. Please tell me what I need to do if it is possible to get my worlds back again.

Thank you.

    Hello,

    I was having issues with my F keys not working.  I had Dell on the phone and they deleted the app not knowing I would lose my world.  I'm new to Minecraft.  He tried looking for the saves folder but could not find it.  I googled and realized for windows 10 you need to look for a different folder.  I did but could not find my world.  The Dell tech restored to my last restore point but that didn't help either.  I will try the above once I get home but would anyone know if restoring your laptop erase the game files?  Thanks for any assistance.
